As environmental awareness grows among consumers and governments around the world implement stricter regulations on plastic waste, the beauty industry is facing a critical imperative: to adopt more sustainable practices. Nowhere is this shift more evident than in packaging, which accounts for a significant portion of the industry’s environmental footprint. BEYAQI Cosmetics (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. has recognized this challenge as an opportunity to innovate, developing a range of eco-friendly packaging solutions that balance aesthetic appeal, functional performance, and environmental responsibility—positioning the company as a leader in the global movement toward sustainable beauty. The cornerstone of BEYAQI’s sustainable efforts lies in its use of recycled materials, particularly PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics. PCR materials are derived from plastic waste that has been collected, sorted, and processed, diverting it from landfills and reducing the demand for virgin plastics. BEYAQI incorporates PCR plastics into many of its core products, including sprayers, airless bottles, and cream jars, with content levels ranging from 15% to 30% depending on the product type. What makes this innovation stand out is that BEYAQI does not compromise on quality to prioritize sustainability. Each PCR-based package undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the same standards of durability, leakage resistance, and structural integrity as packaging made from virgin materials. For example, its PCR-infused trigger sprayers are tested for over 10,000 sprays to ensure consistent performance, while its PCR airless bottles are subjected to pressure tests to prevent ingredient oxidation and contamination. This commitment to quality addresses a key concern for beauty brands, which often worry that sustainable packaging may underperform or damage their products. In addition to using recycled materials, BEYAQI has optimized its packaging designs for recyclability. One of the biggest barriers to effective packaging recycling is the use of mixed materials—such as plastic combined with metal or paper—which are difficult to separate and process.
To solve this, BEYAQI has developed a fully PP-material packaging series, where all components of the packaging (from the container body to the lid and pump) are made from polypropylene, a highly recyclable plastic. This single-material design eliminates the need for complex separation during recycling, making it easier for waste management facilities to process the packaging and giving it a higher chance of being repurposed into new products. The company’s inverted sprayers, a popular choice for body lotions and haircare products, are a prime example of this design philosophy. Not only are they made from 100% recyclable PP, but they are also engineered to dispense every last drop of product, reducing consumer waste—a small but impactful detail that aligns with the broader goal of sustainability. BEYAQI also understands that sustainability is not just about materials and design but also about transparency. To help brands communicate their environmental efforts to consumers, the company provides detailed documentation of its sustainable practices, including certificates for PCR material sourcing, carbon footprint assessments, and compliance with international environmental standards such as ISO 14001. This transparency allows brands to authenticate their sustainability claims, building trust with eco-conscious consumers who are increasingly likely to choose products with credible green credentials. For instance, a skincare brand using BEYAQI’s PCR airless bottles can display the PCR content percentage on its packaging, along with a link to BEYAQI’s certification documents, giving consumers concrete proof of the brand’s commitment to the environment. Beyond its product innovations, BEYAQI has also implemented sustainable practices within its own operations. Its factories are equipped with energy-efficient machinery and water recycling systems, reducing energy consumption and water waste during production. The company also works closely with its suppliers to ensure they adhere to ethical and environmental standards, creating a sustainable supply chain that extends beyond BEYAQI’s own facilities. "At BEYAQI, we believe that sustainability is not a trend but a responsibility," said a spokesperson for the company. "The beauty industry has a unique role to play in driving positive environmental change, and packaging is a key part of that. Our goal is to make sustainable packaging accessible to every brand, regardless of size or budget, so that together, we can reduce the industry’s impact on the planet." As the demand for sustainable beauty continues to grow, BEYAQI’s eco-friendly innovations are setting a new standard for the industry. By proving that sustainable packaging can be both high-performing and visually appealing, the company is empowering brands to make environmentally responsible choices without sacrificing their competitive edge. In the years to come, BEYAQI plans to expand its range of sustainable solutions further, exploring new materials such as biodegradable plastics and plant-based polymers, and continuing to lead the way toward a more sustainable future for beauty packaging.
